UNC was the co-champion of the ACC Coastal Division, but couldn’t play in the postseason. Instead, with Miami opting out, Georgia Tech played in the game against Florida State. Those are just details, though. The point us, from UNC’s perspective, is that it would have been there if it could have been. Thus, these fancy rings.

Ohio State, by the way, bought commemorative rings, too. Like UNC, Ohio State was ineligible for the postseason. Unlike the Tar Heels, the Buckeyes finished the year with a 12-0 regular season ranking. Again, just a small detail.
